Journal 107 - First Brazilin in space
In March 2007, the Russian Aviation and Space Agency launched a Soyuz TMA 8 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It is a mission to the International Space Station. Aboard the spacecraft were three astronauts: Russian Pavel Vinogradov, American Jeffrey Williams and Brazilian Marcos Pontes. Pontes was the first Brazilian in space. The spacecraft was scheduled to dock at the space station on April 1. The crew had conducted various scientific experiments during the mission.
Marcos Pontes and two others astronauts, Russian Valery Tokarev and American Bill McArthur, who arrived in space station earlier, left this station on April 9. They returned to Earth aboard the Soyuz spacecraft.
P. Vinogradov and J. Williams remainded at the space station. They are going to stay there for 6 months. Good luck!
